Senior Software Engineer (Rust) | Global Fintech | Remote
Full Remote in Spain or Italy
3 stage interview process
We're working with a global fintech scaling rapidly and operating at massive scale. The company is entering a strategic evolution of its core technology stack and is making a long-term investment in Rust to improve performance, security, and operational efficiency across mission-critical systems.
The Opportunity
Rather than joining a single team or project, you'll:
* Define the standards, architecture, and best practices for Rust development
* Lead the design and build of high-performance, distributed systems
What You'll Be Doing
* Partner with senior engineering and product leaders to define the Rust roadmap
* Architect and build foundational Rust services used across the platform
* Establish development patterns, CI/CD pipelines, and engineering standards
* Solve complex system-level and architectural challenges
* Embed strong observability and monitoring using OpenTelemetry
* Act as the go-to Rust expert and technical leader within the business
What They're Looking For
* 8+ years' experience building distributed, high-throughput systems
* Proven, hands-on experience building production systems in Rust
* Deep knowledge of systems design, memory management, and concurrency
* Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
* Strong understanding of event-driven architectures
* Experience establishing or improving CI/CD practices
Nice to have: experience with Go or Java in large-scale, cloud-native environments.
If you're a senior engineer who enjoys ownership, influence, and solving hard system problems, this is a standout opportunity.
